(3) 4-6 Middle-schooler Justin must contend with his parents' separation, his mother's depression, and now, in early 2003, his soldier-brother's deployment to Iraq. The sympathetic narrator's everyday concerns (his growing appreciation for music and first tentative romance) prevent this slice-of-story from being overwhelmed by the heavy issues involving family and world turmoil.
